Detailed Hockey Fixture Analysis

Two members of the 1st XI Boys Hockey team, Mihir and Anthony have developed a statistical spreadsheet which has provided both the players and the coaches with detailed, in-depth information on the team’s performance in fixtures against visiting schools. The boys set up a video camera to record the match and then sat down after the game to enter information onto a spreadsheet such as, number of passes completed, pass completion percentage, areas on the pitch where the ball was lost and shots on targets. From this information both the coaches and the players were able to identify areas of improvement for future matches as well as providing some insight into how each player performed on an individual basis.
